Coach’s Story:
“My career as both a football player and coach has provided me with tremendous opportunities to travel the world playing the game that I love. Growing up in Nigeria, and being involved in African football for as long as I have, I know first hand the power football has to provide hope for an individual, a community, a country. I am excited at the opportunity to become a GRS Ambassador and to join the fight against AIDS using the game that I love.”
